WIC (Women's, Infants and Children) can also be redeemed at the Cambridge Supermarket. WIC provides Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) also known as the federal Food Stamp Program is available for low-income individuals and families. It helps them buy the food they need for good health. Benefits are provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM card and accepted at most grocery stores.
